Aim at harmonising

”We continue to work together, with the aim of harmonising and advancing impact reporting practices across the Nordic region. The updated version includes a number of improvements and clarifications over the previous version, as well as recommendations regarding the reporting of climate-related physical risk and the sustainable development goals,” says Björn Bergstrand, head of sustainability at Kommuninvest and leader of the Nordic cooperative project.
